Tis now Wednesday[:@][&:][:(][>:]

Sorry, no patch AFAIK, just one massive DL.

Strange. New exe, oob's and scenarios would make just 20-25 megs compressed...
Compare that to the 400+ meg full game and all the troubles people have been experiencing with the current d/l sites.

Yeah, I don't understand the logic behind the full D/L only.

To me, Panzer Leo's H2Hfr made 7.1 a far more different game than 8.0 did, and yet was accomplished in a much smaller than full D/L (63,741KB for H2Hfr versus 430,738KB for 8.0).

Unless 8.2 changes 8.01 a lot more than H2Hfr changed 7.1, I'm mystified why there isn't just a patch.[X(][&:]

I'd be happy if it'd just get here, no matter how the download is packaged....

I've been putting off starting up a new long campaign until 8.2 arrives, and it has seemed like forever since it was announced that it would be here "soon"...

Yeah well... It was said before that the patch will be probably released in last weekend, but the poster said that itll be more likelt monday or tuesday... But yeah its wednesday already. Clishe and routine

Anyways, im happy if it is released whenever it is released. Fact is that it will be released someday and itll make me happy. It is done for free remember, so one cant really hope that dates are set and kept.

As he paced the floor in anticipation,[&:]
Will it be a Full Download?[&:]
Will it be worth the trepidation ?[8|]
Or will it be a small load ?[>:]
A patch perhaps?[&o]
that all can download,[:D]
Worry, worry, fret, oh chaps,[:-]
Go ahead and make it a full game,[X(]
I need another one on my main frame.[&o]

If it is a full download, it's not because they just want to mess with us. Then it's a change to the mech.exe, and that will be REALLY interesting to find out just what they did.

But the mech.exe is only 2.914 KB [&:]

H2Hfr also apparently changes the mech.exe, so I don't see why this should require a full download: "This will overwrite your existing version (mech.exe) !!!"

I mean it's not the end of the world if it's a full download, I just don't understand why a patch (even if it's the size of H2Hfr) wouldn't have sufficed.[&:]

PS Yes I realize no one is forcing me to download or play 8.2.[:'(] It just seems weird to me that 8.0/8.2 are not just patches.

I don't mind a full download.

If that gets me the game go for it! [:'(]

nil per patch............[:@][:@][:@]

Tis Thursday and the lesser spotted 8.2 is still in hiding. Maybe its extinct?

If it's gonna be a full download... may I humbly suggest giving us a .torrent of the file as well as the standard download package? So that at least when we're all downloading at once, we're doing some good rather than crushing someone's server? [:)]

"Bits & bobs are being adjusted literally until the last minute. Depending on how fast the package can be assembled, we could see the build as early as tomorrow night (saturday night), but I'm thinking it will probably be Monday or Tuesday."

Its happy thursday already
